Is Lava a Grinch? – Dogster

Hello, I’m Dr. Maja! Read my introduction to study extra about me and my two crossbreed canine, Lava and Hela.

Christmas time lastly! Stuffed with pleasure, household traditions, nice meals, and laughter. Or should you ask my canine, tasty treats, new toys, and lengthy walks. After which it begins. With social media insanity, you possibly can’t keep away from seeing photos of different folks’s pets in numerous festive costumes across the tree and the like. All of them look so blissful and content material! And I needed to surprise, what would Lava consider this? Nicely, I ought to have identified higher; she wasn’t impressed. However the look on her face was priceless.

Does Lava Hate Christmas or Simply Dressing Up?

Lava is a grump. She has a knack for making the varieties of facial expressions that present the utmost displeasure and annoyance. It’s so humorous, and she or he should have realized we discover it entertaining, so she retains doing it. Lava is a really cussed canine. She hates every little thing that wasn’t her personal selection. And that is the place costumes are available in.

In all honesty, I haven’t even thought-about getting her a correct physique costume, as she is so massive and has such dense fur that she could be too scorching in it. However a scarf is a distinct story. I discovered a cute reindeer one, however it wasn’t straightforward to get her to maintain it on. It took me days and quite a lot of treats to get her to tolerate it for not less than a couple of minutes, and for her to appreciate it’s nothing that dramatic. However she disagreed and put up a face prefer it was the worst factor that ever occurred to her. A minimum of in her reminiscence.

However She Seems to be So Cute

I don’t assume that Lava cares a lot about Christmas as such. However she does care deeply concerning the headband. She hates sporting it. I did, nevertheless, handle to take just a few photos of her. Some look lovely, whereas others nearly seem as if she is being tortured. Lava is a drama queen, and that is apparent in most of the images I’ve taken of her over the previous couple of years, in addition to final Christmas. This yr, I made a decision to respect her want to not put on the headscarf.

What Lava Loves About This Time of 12 months

In any other case, I do know Lava loves the wintertime. Though she enjoys the good outside, mendacity down subsequent to the hearth, not less than for quarter-hour till she realizes it’s manner too heat for her, and snoozing all through the afternoon are her second-best pastimes. Third place goes to selecting up the logs and sticks that might be used within the hearth, however as a substitute of taking them to the hearth, she carries them to the couch and chews them on there. And she or he seems utterly confused once I take them from her and try to clear the mess earlier than my mum sees it.

After which we sometimes get snow. If we’re fortunate sufficient to have sufficient of it to stay to the bottom, Lava can’t wait to be out, operating round like a loony, rolling in it on her again, chasing the cat, and getting her entire head below the snow, sniffing for issues beneath. It’s a pleasure to look at her.

The Christmas Tree Is Far Extra Fascinating

Lava additionally loves the Christmas tree. When she was only a pet, she tried to take the decorations down and chew on the branches. She loves a superb stick. Now she is aware of higher, however her waggy tail is much more of a hazard. It knocks down the decorative balls from the bottom and furthest branches. This is among the explanation why, for this yr, I’m severely contemplating having the tree exterior, the place it’s out of the attain of two clumsy and curious canine, and now three cats. In any other case, it might be a short-lived Christmas tree.

Festive Season With Pets

I benefit from the Christmas time of the yr, however I wouldn’t say I’m loopy about it, like some. And having canine and cats limits what number of decorations you possibly can put up. And the place. The whole lot must be very excessive up and out of attain of those 5 creatures; in any other case, it could be chaos. However it nonetheless seems like Christmas.
